We live in a generation that accounts information to be wisdom, technique to be principle, psychology to be insight, the immediate to be priority, diversion as desirable, and toil as drudgery.
Reflection is not engaged in sufficiently so as to transcend beyond superficial silly application and thus we have not known universal transforming spiritual principles of substance.
Mega and Meta issues are rarely given a passing thought. Why are you here? What’s it all about? Does it make any difference? Am I really a random bio-chemical machine?
We do not engage in the deepest strata of life simply due to our not having grasped the deepest strata of eternal reality.
Untrustworthy politics, science, and superficial religion prevail, and so we subsist in quiet despair, hopes wane, and no worthwhile legacy continues to the next generation.
How shall we be delivered from this suffocating death? Only by commitment to Jesus Christ and the eternal truth of the Bible.
